Chapter 0217 - Warm-hearted Jonathan
"Did they take the wrong medicine?" Li Zitao looked at Nick with a strange expression.
Nick couldn't laugh or cry either, and he wanted to know if those guys had taken the wrong medicine, but could he say that?
The newly appointed Mr. President is like a fan, and a series of devilish operations make people unable to understand it at all.
"If Washington insists, I think, their words will also represent my attitude. Harvey Firestone's sudden statement made Nick's face completely blackened.
Everyone can hear that his words at this moment not only represent him, but the Cleveland consortium behind him.
Sellers McCormi would love to speak on behalf of the Chicago Consortium, and he has that status and rights.
This is a good opportunity to join the team with other consortia and gain favorability.
Embarrassingly, the Chicago consortium's main industries are focused on agricultural processing, animal husbandry and food.
And then there's the banks and the oil, which has nothing to do with building dams.
"Nick, help me tell my dear Mr. President, if he insists, I think his dam will be built until the next century,
Maybe we should consider redirecting the railroad and electrical circuits that are being built and to hell with that barren land!"
Li Zitao must stand up, as his supporters, the bigwigs have made promises, and even Morgan Jr. has given him enough face.
Although this made him don't know how much he owed, if he retreated or hesitated at this time, it would be tantamount to slapping his own face again.
So even if Li Zitao had a little headache, he still stood up firmly.
"I'll get your word out. Nick was relieved to hear his words.
After all, the previous speeches of the bigwigs were just waving flags and cheering, and now with Li Zitao's words, it is equivalent to closing the coffin for this matter.
As for Washington's consideration, it's better to leave it to our fan-like Mr. President and his team.
If he can really withstand the pressure of the three major conglomerates, plus the McCormie family, and the rising star Charlie Lee......
"Well, maybe Washington is going to rise from today, and I hope he doesn't step down before that. Nick thought evilly, a little excited in his heart.
If the president's ass is removed, he, the vice president, will be turned right.
"Alright, let's have some pleasant things, Charlie, are you interested in the development and renovation of Hawaii?" said little John, easing some of the tension.
"Of course, the scenery there is great. Li Zitao nodded.
"John, is Hawaii going to be developed?" Harvey chimed in.
"Yes, maybe next year. Little John nodded.
There is no need to hide this matter, they will receive news soon, and regarding the development and transformation, Li Zitao only needs to think about it, his competitiveness is unmatched.
The professionalism shown by Bechtel, as well as the downstream industrial chain formed with it as the core, is definitely the most authoritative and professional contracting company in the United States.
What's worse is that these guys are fast enough and the quality is passable, but the price is not much higher than that of other companies.
In terms of their offer, speed and quality, they would lose money on other companies.
But Berchd just can make money, who will reason with this special mother.
In fact, everyone knows what is going on, and the workers of Beched do a good job of a salary when they get a salary.
The workers of other contractors take a salary and only do one-fifth of the work, and it would be strange if they didn't lose money.
Now some contracting companies have begun to consider whether to open up the recruitment of Chinese workers.
But when they think about what's going on inside the factory, they can't help but have a headache.
Li Zitao himself is Chinese, and there is nothing wrong with hiring Chinese workers, even if someone shouts a few words in taste, saying, 'Chinese workers have robbed us of our jobs,' no one will pay attention.
But if the other contractors dared to do the same, the management and workers below would definitely rebel.
If the Chinese workers perform well, they will be jealous and suppressed, and even find opportunities to kick them out.
If you work with them to grind foreign workers, then what's the point of recruiting Chinese workers?
Headache, headache!
......
Just when Li Zitao was discussing with the bigwigs how to divide the delicious vanilla cake, an interesting thing happened in the dance party outside.
"Mrs. Duke, Doris is 17 years old, and I think she is an adult with her own abilities, and she has the right to choose who she befriends with whomever she wants. ”
Jonathan held the crystal cup in one hand and pulled Doris behind him with the other, looking at Nanalyn Duke with a face that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"She is my daughter, and I have the right to correct some of her inappropriate choices. Nanarin looked at him with disdain.
Nanaline didn't have the slightest affection for this illegitimate son who seized power.
Before she came, she warned Doris that she would never be allowed to talk to Jonathan, but she didn't expect that she just went to say a few words to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and when she turned around, she saw the two standing together talking and laughing.
This made Nannarine angry, and she was more worried about Jonathan if she paid attention to Doris.
"Interfere, not restrict, Mrs. Duke, and take note of that. Jonathan only had to look at her to guess what Nannarin thought.
This mean, vicious woman is just like her stepmother.
Although she was the one who found Jonathan and brought him back to the Astor family, in his heart, Jonathan didn't like her at all.
"Doris, come here. Nanaline looked at Doris fiercely, intending to assert her authority as a mother.
"Miss Doris, you are an adult, you have your own choice, and I think the wealth left to you by your father is enough for the court to rule on your independence. ”
Hearing Jonathan's words, a trace of panic flashed in Nanaline's eyes, while Doris was thoughtful.
"Doris, I want you to come right now, now. Nanarin's voice was sharp and harsh.
“...... I, I don't want to leave. Doris leaned back in fear, and then, as if remembering something, leaned forward to Jonathan, and gently pinched the corner of his coat with her hand.
"You damn it" Nanarin opened her mouth to scold this slut, but after thinking of the occasion here, she held back.
Reaching out to grab Doris, thinking about how to clean her up when she returned, Jonathan's hand grabbed her.
"Mrs. Duke, I have many simple and effective ways for a woman like you, would you like to try?" Jonathan was not at all afraid of her identity.
After Buckduke's death, she was just a stupid woman who flaunted her might on the outside under the illustrious name of 'Duke'.
Buck left her $100,000 a month for expenses, and his huge inheritance, except for half of it donated to Duke University, the rest was in Doris's name.
That's why Nanaline wanted to hold Doris in her hands.
She wanted her son to get this huge fortune, not the bastard who made her sick to see it, even if Doris was her own daughter.
